Methods for Multidimensional Dynamics Computations in Chemistry

Edited by: Donald L. Thompson

An interesting and challenging aspect of chemical processes is that they usually involve the collective behavior of a large number of degrees of freedom. The task for the theoretician is to describe these processes, in all their dynamical complexity, in molecules, liquids, and solids. One of the defining characteristics of theoretical chemistry over the past few decades has been the rapid progress in the development of methods for treating the dynamics of complex processes in multidimensional systems. This volume is a collection of some of the key theoretical techniques that have resulted.

Overviews of Recent Research on Energetic Materials

Edited by: Robert W. Shaw, Thomas B. Brill, and Donald L. Thompson

This book presents experimental and theoretical methods to characterize energetic materials combustion. Major contributors to the field summarize much of the most important recent work and discuss what we know with confidence and what main areas remain to be investigated. Most chapters summarize work spanning decades with expert commentary found nowhere else.
